2010 Tasting Notes - Robert Parker - Wine Advocate Aug 2014

This is considered to be among the greatest vintages ever made in Montrose, right up with the 1929, 1945, 1947, 1959, 1961, 1989, 1990 and 2009. Harvest was October 15 to 17. The wine has really come on since I last tasted it, and it needs at least another 10 years of cellaring. The blend was 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine is opaque black/blue, with an incredible nose of blueberry and blackberry liqueur, with hints of incense, licorice, and acacia flowers. Tannins are incredibly sweet and very present. The wine is full-bodied, even massive, with great purity, depth and a finish that goes on close to a minute. This is a 50- to 75-year-old wine that will repay handsomely those with good aging genes. (Note: The Chateau Montrose website gives an aging potential of 2020-2100.)

As the table above demonstrates, there is a clear price disparity between equally scored Montrose vintages. We would expect to see this price gap close considerably over the next 18-24 months, following the recent upgrade. Whilst the 1961, 1989 and 1990 are clear long term benchmarks, we would expect over the next 5 years for both the 2009 and 2010 vintages to significantly close the gap on the equally scored 1990 vintage.

2009 Vs 2010

As the graph below taken directly from Liv-ex demonstrates, the impact a perfect 100 point score from Parker can have is substantial. In May 2012 Parker awarded the Montrose 2009 the perfect 100 point score which resulted in an immediate price increase from £1,500 per case to £2,400. We believe that last week’s upgrade of the 2010 vintage, will push the prices on a similar trajectory over the coming months.

Whilst prices have since come down for the 2009, it has been far more resilient than the vast majority of wines from the Bordeaux region. With the Bordeaux market set to re-align with its long term average growth rate, wines such as the Montrose 2009 and 2010 will undoubtedly be leading the recovery. At its current price of £1,650 per 12x75cl case, the Montrose 2010 is one of the best value 100 point wines available, and in what has become a far more educated market, consumers are actively seeking this type of value vs quality to replenish their cellars.
